• Journalists reported that Nottingham Forest have considered dismissing Nuno, with further claims that Marinakis held meetings to discuss the manager’s position.
• Ange Postecoglou has been named in reports as a candidate under consideration should Forest make a change, though no decision has been announced.
• After Nuno’s earlier criticism of squad readiness, Forest spent roughly £100 million on James McAtee, Omari Hutchinson, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Douglas Luiz.
